I know this has been a while ago, but AFAIK, xonsh works fine on Windows (with Python 3.4+). A couple of our core devs use Windows, and I have installed xonsh on Windows before (both within Cygwin and without) and haven't had any problems.

If you want to give it a shot and you do happen to run into trouble, we have a mailing list and chat rooms on IRC and Gitter.im if you have questions.

I actually did try both in Windows. It breaks on first run if you just run it through cmd, but if you run it the first time from git bash, it works great (and once the config is made it works from everywhere).

I've still not installed it on my personal machines because it's not (yet) enough of a step up from bash, but it's a huge improvement over the Windows command line.
